Bought some reproduction center caps for the 914 Alloys (mine are Mahle's), they are ISP brand available at: vwispwest.com. They look great and are made of thicker metal so they won't dent but I am having trouble getting them to go on since they are friction fit like originals but don't give as much. Does anyone have a solution maybe cut 3 vertical slits into the sleeve so there is some give. Let me know if you have installed these on your car. Thanks!

I have Mark's on my Mahles, and they look great! To me, the satin finish looks much better than the original.
Mine were very tight, so I had to use a rubber mallet. I think that this is partially due to the fact that my wheels have been painted at least once. Someday, I plan to take them off and sand the inside of the center holes to make the caps fit better. |
